Remember how a few posts ago I mentioned that I am horrible sometimes with getting photos posted? Well, back in the summer of 2007, when I just joined with the SCA and was also very involved with the local Renfaires, I worked on and finished my one, and so far only, completely ( Read more... )

(Crossposted from my blog: http://www.kimiko1.com/blog/?p=143)So, another project has been started, since I have one final baronial entry required for our A&S Championship, and it has to be a spiffy one, as this entry will help to determine who is the winner.
